Great news !!! I think, Where are the other 10 needed to replace 6000 megawatts due to be lost this year ???

The closure is part of the company's compliance plan, which aims to retire nearly 6,000 megawatts of coal-fueled power generation by the end of 2014. The Kammer plant is one of five plants in West Virginia and Ohio with an expected closure date of Dec. 31, 2014. Additionally, six other plants would retire generating units but continue operating some generation at the plants. - See more at: http://www.news-register.net/page/content.detail/id/556002/AEP-Coul...

What about the others due to close or scale back ??? That power will be lost in December 2014 where is the power coming from for those 4 years ?? There is going to be a lot of missing Power !!!!!

Another article on this new proposed power plant with  a few more details of the plant as well as the location.  Including the fact that 105 million dollars of natural gas would be used per year.   Anyone else think they may be other generating plants built in the upper Ohio Valley?  My opinion is that there will be others built.

searcherone,

I'm not sure if it's the same type of facility, but there is a gas fueled power plant proposed for Lordstown, Trumbull County, OH.

It only makes sense that with the abundance of affordable natural gas that more of these will be proposed and bulit.

Searcherone, Ohio Land Management in the last three weeks has been in discussion with an out of state entity seeking 25 acres near the PA line in Mahoning county.  They are very confidential about the usage and have asked for details which we have submitted.  Initially they have asked for three sites to sellect from and we have given them three.  Now they have narrowed it down to one site and the ball is in their court.  I will post more when I can, but I beleive it maybe a power plant.

Marshall Co. residents are asking questions about the payment in lieu of taxes regarding the new power plant.   Also company officials are meeting with local residents that live near the site.

A few more details released regarding gas fired plant;  permit was filed in October, 2013 so this is well into the planning stage.
